Introduction

I’m deeply interested in game engine programming and am seriously considering transitioning fully from game development to engine development. I love the combination of solving math-heavy challenges, writing performance-critical code, and designing thoughtful systems. That’s what led me to start this project.

About Me

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 16:10:50 +0200

Hi, I’m a full-time C++ software developer and indie game dev based in Germany. I’m married and recently became a father.

I discovered programming at the age of 13 and quickly developed a strong interest in game development. At the time, becoming a game developer didn’t feel like a realistic career path, so I focused on building a solid foundation as a software developer - studied computer science, entered the industry, and worked across different domains. But game development was always there alongside, as a hobby and a passion that never really went away.

The Beginning

The theme for the Winter Melon Jam 2023 was “Charm.” I was disappointed. I already had several cool game genres in mind that I was excited to try out. So my anticipation for the jam was huge. But “Charm”? What should I do with that? It did not fit any idea at all.

However, I had already set aside the three days, so I decided to give it a shot. The theme was announced around 6 pm., so I chose not to start programming that evening. Instead, I spent the rest of the night planning the following days and, most importantly, coming up with a game idea.

Project Goal and Implementation

This project had two main goals. First, DIPF wanted to gain better insights into the data of the IWWB meta-search engine. Second, they aimed to make the search engine more user-friendly, enabling users to easily find educational courses tailored to their interests and located near them.

For the data analysis, I wrote small algorithms to extract relevant data from the massive JSON database. One of the key features I implemented was a simple categorization algorithm that organizes courses into thematic categories based on customizable keywords. These data are visualized in various ways on the dashboard. To enhance user-friendliness, I implemented a map with a search function. By using color-coded markers for course topics, users can explore their area for interesting courses with ease.
